that there will be no empty stocking

Judge Edwin W. Dart, of the re¬

the short period that Judrc Dart has

enviable reputation in a very trying

the city and he carries with him the
best wishes of the people.
The movement to honor the mem¬
ory of the late lamented Dr. R. L.
Rox, with a handsome solarium to be
erected as an addition to the City
hospital, is a fine thing. In his life¬
time, he was devoted to the cause of
the hospital and his work for human¬
ity was great. It is most fitting that
his life work should thus be commem¬
orated.

RECIPROCITY
THE ENGLISH SITUATION
The most important world event
since the Armistice is the result of
the British election. The old Con
servative membership in Parliament
has been reduced by nearly 100. La
tor members have increased nearly
fifty, and Liberals gain severity-sev¬
en. The Labor party becomes the
dominant political power of England
ar.c Ramsay Macdonald may be till¬
ed upon* to officiate as prime minister
an ! form a new cabinet, though it is
said he does not want it, preferring
to hold the power without the respon- I
sibility.
The effect of this election is far- ■
reaching. It has given France 2 gen- !

POINCARE AND THE TREATY
Upon his return to the United
States after a summer in Europe, Os¬
wald Garrison Villard, editor of the
Nation, stated in a public address in
Boston, that there will be no peace in
Europe until the Versailles Treaty is
revised. Poor Treaty of Versailles!
After less than five years no one
wants to take responsibility for it.
While in London to attend the
ial Conference, General Smuts of
South Africa said that in its applica¬
tion it had been twisted to mean
something never intended by the
framers, in his armistice radio ad¬
dress, ex-President Wilson asserted
that France and Italy had made scrap
pvpcr of it. The recantations of Mr.
Lloyd George hrme been too numeious
to enumerate. M. Georges Clemen
ceau himself wrote some time ago
•that “the Great War had deserved a
great peace,” implying that it did not
receive such an ending. When the
peacemakers themselves admit their
faiiure to undo the work of the war
makers, what of the future?
It is the general impression that
Premier Poincare is the last mainstay
of the Versailles Treaty, but in a pub¬
lic debate in the Chamber of Deputies
on Nov. 23 he called it “an incom¬
plete Instrument,” out of which he
h'sd tried to get the best results pos¬
sibie. He even went so far as to <la
t clare for the first time in public that
j he had disapproved of its principal securi
j j provision—that provision—that tor tor the the xutuie lUtuie securi
ty ty of of France 1 ranee through through allied aiiied gua:an- guaran
j tees -and had (seriously considered

j marshal’s opinion about the Rhine
'-'ae permanent 1 rentier between
France ami Germany, and that he had
distrusted the promise of a guaran

States, (which has shown itself 11
lusory. Furthermore, he made die
remarkable statement that he has not
despaired of securing an adequate
guarantee treaty from Great Britain,!

the treaty is to be revised, it is
clear th :t .vL Poincare would do it in
the opposite direction from that in- !
tended by Mr. Villard. I
!-•■ ar. allied guarantee still possi¬
ble? At the same debate former Pre¬
mier Briand also disclosed the exact
terms offered by Mr. Lloyd George
just prior to the Genoa conference in
1922. It was a general treaty by
which France, Great Britain, and Be 1
-
gium would consider the Rhine as
their future conumon frontier against
Germany. But when it came to a
specific military convention, as a cor
ollary, specifying how many divisions
Great Britain would promise to fur¬
nish within a certain time, which the
French considered indispensable, the
British statesman refused, saying hi;
J country would never consent to any
sac fj thing. In fact, such a conven
tion would have obliged Great Britain
to maintain a large standing army,
and if the American senate had rtti
hed the tripartite pac., it is also prob
able that France would hare demano

afjter a man has committeed what ap¬

particular individual who considers
himself capable of discerning evi¬
